  • Publication number: 20250059921
    Abstract: A method for reducing a clearance gap between a plurality of rotor blades and a shroud assembly of an engine includes determining, with a flight control system, that an airplane is in a first flight condition. The method also includes adjusting the clearance gap to a first clearance gap distance associated with the first flight condition. Further, the method includes receiving, with the flight control system, a demand for a second flight condition. During the second flight condition, the method includes adjusting at least two independently controllable parameters, the at least two independently controllable parameters comprising, at least, a first parameter for optimizing the clearance gap and a second parameter for satisfying a thrust demand of the engine, the first parameter having a first impact on the clearance gap, the second parameter having a second impact on the clearance gap, the first impact being greater than the second impact.

  • Patent number: 12195146
    Abstract: A gyroscopic roll stabilizer includes a gimbal having a support frame and enclosure configured to maintain a below-ambient pressure, a flywheel assembly including a flywheel and flywheel shaft, one or more bearings for rotatably mounting the flywheel inside the enclosure, a motor for rotating the flywheel, and bearing cooling system for cooling one or more bearings supporting the flywheel. The bearing cooling system enables heat generated by the bearings to be transferred through the flywheel shaft to a heat sink disposed within a cavity in the end of the flywheel shaft, and then external to the enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20240255455
    Abstract: A vessel includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store a vessel identifier. The processor is configured to initiate a timer for a shelf life of a solution placed into the vessel. The processor is also configured to conduct a measurement of the solution using one or more sensors in the vessel. The processor is also configured to compare the measurement to a threshold for the solution. The processor is further configured to activate a solution indicator to indicate that the solution should be discarded responsive to a determination that the shelf life has expired or a determination that the measurement exceeds the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240149988
    Abstract: A gyroscopic roll stabilizer comprises a gimbal having a support frame and enclosure configured to maintain a below-ambient pressure, a flywheel assembly including a flywheel and flywheel shaft, one or more bearings for rotatably mounting the flywheel inside the enclosure, a motor for rotating the flywheel, and bearing cooling system for cooling the bearings supporting the flywheel. For smaller units, the bearing cooling system is effective to enable a flywheel with a moment of inertia less than 40,000 lb in2 to be accelerated at a rate of 5 rpm/s or greater. For larger units, the bearing cooling system is effective to enable a flywheel with a moment of inertia greater than 40,000 lb in2 to be accelerated at a rate of 2.5 rpm/s or greater.

  • Publication number: 20230393235
    Abstract: Techniques for mitigating network interference from impacting a radar altimeter implemented on a vehicle include determining signal parameters from received network signals from a telecommunications network, such as a 5G network. The signal parameters can include the signal strength of the network signals and the timing synchronization information of the network signals. The operation of the radar altimeter is adjusted based on the signal parameters received from the network signals.

  • Patent number: 11816738
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a risk relationship data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record representing a risk relationship between an enterprise and a risk relationship provider (e.g., an insurer), and including, for each risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of roof attribute values. A back-end application computer server may receive, from a third-party data source, roof information for a roof of a building associated with a risk relationship. The computer server may then correlate the received roof information with a particular electronic record in the risk relationship data store. A roof attribute value of the particular electronic record may be updated in accordance with the roof information received from the third-party data source, and a predictive analytics engine of the computer server may then calculate a roof risk score associated with the particular electronic record.
